As a medium, podcasts can be intimidating for adults to get into, let alone kids, so the Leela Kids app helps kids and parents to find the best age-appropriate audio content. The app has an interface that's both appealing and easy-to-follow for kids of any age, and it sorts content both by theme and age range, curating the best podcasts from around the web.
Podcasts might seem like a dry entertainment medium for kids, but they're perfect for extended periods of down time like long car rides or flights. Finding the right podcasts can be hard, though. Kids and adults have very different tastes — a four-hour history podcast about 16th century royalty might be perfect for Mom and Dad, but it'll bore most kids. Leela Kids saves parents the trouble of digging through podcasts to see what works for their children.
